Coach Jim’s Term 2 Outline

In term 1 our focus was on building aerobic endurance, riding in groups and bike handling skills. We will be continuing to practice these skills in term 2 and we will introduce sessions designed to improve speed on the bike and to teach riders how to improve their sprinting. Some specific skills that we will work on will include one handed riding, cornering, and track stands. The Tuesday skills sessions will continue to be game based. Thursday sessions will have several weeks devoted to time trail skills in addition to the speed and sprinting sessions.

Front and rear lights are required on all bikes at training in term 2. Please ensure that the lights are charged.

Introducing Crit Cross

Crit Cross is designed with fun and skill-building in mind, this innovative race format combines elements of traditional cyclocross on a flat grass track with obstacles suitable for junior cyclists on normal road bikes. Unlike traditional cyclocross courses with challenging terrains, Crit Cross is accessible to riders of all levels, making it perfect for beginner cyclist aged from 7-12 years old.

Key Features
